Since 2000, International Affairs at Texas Tech University has curated this premiere juried photographic exhibition of peoples and places of the world's dry lands.  The High and Dry Exhibition has attracted hundreds of artists across the nation, all of whom were asked to respond to some aspect of life in an arid or a semi-arid region. Subjects range from sand dunes in the Sahara Desert to ghost towns in Terlingua, Texas. It is our hope that these images will not only prompt aesthetic appreciation but also elicit reflection upon the realities of life on our increasingly thirsty planet.
